H2 Fender Flares

[ken.j]

Anyone have any suggestions as to the best brand of Fender Flares. I was going to get the E&G classic Wide EG5308-2400-03W but don't want to bore holes in the fender of our new vehicle . I am now considering the E&G 5308-2400-03, but the pics on their website look as if the ABS material is of a more shiny finish than the stock fenders flares and rocker panel cover.
Our vehicle is black so ideally I am looking for a set which I can fit without painting but also one where the fender flares will look the same as the remaining factory trim along the rocker panels.

As always, any and all suggestions much appreciated.

Gotta bump this thread. Saw a long thread about poor E&G customer service and expensive replacement parts that made me not want to go there. Anyone have any suggestions? Or has E&G gotten better since then? I don't mind putting holes in the fenders. Just want decent flares for a decent price.
Thanks

Try SAE Parts on eBay as they have some fender flares available...similar to the LE fender flares but a little wider (3" if memory serves me) and they use 3M tape so you don't need to drill any holes.

That's my biggest gripe about these types of parts for our trucks...everything uses 3M tape. If I put something on the outside of my truck, I damn sure want it BOLTED on; cause I'm liable to knock it off. LOL!

Even the E&G flares use double stick if I remember correctly...they double stick to the existing flares then you bolt them to the truck. Still kind of a ghetto rig in my opinion.

I never did find a solid aftermarket flare that replaced the factory ones AND secured in, what I would consider, and acceptable manner. It's like everything on the market was just for 'looks.' I don't want rugged 'looks'...I just want rugged.

EDIT: Side note...SAE Parts on eBay has GREAT prices and customer service!

Hi the Special Edition hummers that had the cut outs in the rocker panels for the side steps came with different flairs and they attach the same way as the stock flairs. They are about 1 inch wider and go up the body farther about 1 1/2 inch than stock. I put the SE rockers and flairs, that were painted gloss black, on my white truck from SAE parts, very nice people to deal with. I do like the way they look on my truck.

E&G has stick on and bolt on I believe. Check this thread out: http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...ighlight=E%26G

My problem is that I've heard bad things about E&G, so I'm nervous to use them. I need the widest flares I can find so I don't think the LE's will work for me.

When I bought my 2003, the only extended flares to be found were Street Scene....
